UK visa applications accepted online in the Netherlands

Applicants for UK visas in the Netherlands can now make their applications via the Internet. The new online system, known as "visa4uk", simplifies the process for the British Consulate-General's visa applicants.

Applicants are guided through the process step by step. Once the online form is completed, an email notification is sent containing a unique reference number.

Another email will be sent when the application has been processed, together with details of when the passport and documents will be returned.
